Hospital safety protocols emphasize electrical maintenance and sterilization

Specialists emphasize the critical importance of specialized electrical maintenance in hospitals to protect patients and prevent service interruptions. According to engineer Ronny Muñoz of Electricast, aging installations and lack of specialized upkeep in operating rooms and intensive care units increase the risk of failure. Key components, such as isolation boards used to reduce electric shock risks, require periodic verification of transformers and isolation monitors to ensure they function within correct parameters.

In a separate focus on hospital safety, the sterilization service at Hospital Eva Perón highlighted its essential role in healthcare quality. Specialist María Gabriela Díaz noted that the sterilization process involves multiple rigorous stages, including washing, drying, conditioning, and sterilization. This service supports various departments, including surgery, neonatology, and dentistry, by ensuring all medical instruments and equipment are safe for patient use.
